A hunter rises to defy death; a prince fights to outlive history. The immortal king has been murdered. He has taken the contract that grants his family eternal life to his grave. In the wake of his death, the spirit granting the family immortality declares a successor must be found within a year before their eternal kingdom burns. Prince Gaelwin, grappling with his newfound mortality, chooses to enter a tournament to determine the most worthy to inherit the throne. Outside the walls of the capital city, a young hunter, Faber, hears rumors of a tournament to determine a new king. After encountering a rare divine beast, he has a chance no commoner has had in centuries: to forge a powerful weapon from its blood. Caught in a clash between the most powerful people in the world, Faber and Gaelwin must hone their skills to stand a chance at obtaining the eternal throne. As their fates converge, family secrets, unexpected alliances between commoner and royal, and an untold history behind the foundations of the eternal kingdom threaten to tear everything they've known apart. What to expect: - A large cast of characters with a complex web of political intrigue and mystery - A tournament that is the main focus of the story and seen all the way through to the end with one winner - Tournament fully starts at chapter 27 - Power system that is closely tied with character development and internal struggles - On average, chapters range between 1.5 k and 4 k words Chapters every M/W/F
